Everyone thinks they understands my wish… they just see it
as an equation. They assume what I gave
up was bad and what I received was good.
Let’s look at those equations and see how it adds up;
- I was a man. Now I’m a woman.
- I worshiped women from afar. Now men use me up close and personal.
- I was financially poor, now I’m economically wealthy.
- I had several incredibly close relationships. Now I have thousands of friends who don’t want to really know me.
- I was focused on pleasing those around me, as it gives me happiness. Now others try to physically please me, but only for their own pleasure.
- I had no political power, but supported others. I now have political power but can’t support myself.
- My soul was full and replenished those around me. Now my soul is slowly chipped away as those near me take what they want.
- I was confident in my own skin, never having to prove my masculinity. Now I’m confused and embarrassed and constantly having to prove my femininity.
- I and everybody around me were happy. Now only those that take from me gain happiness leaving me wallowing in lonely despair.
I was complete. Now I’m
incomplete.

Nice juxtaposition between this and the last caption. Well done!
ReplyDeleteThanks Dee! I actually wrote Incomplete - Complete as a one off. I had this image held back as I knew there was a story in it. After publishing Incomplete - Complete and then looking at it again, I realized the story could be told in a mirror version. It was fun, but entirely unplanned.
